Y-PLAN works intensively with school districts and cities in key locations (currently California and New York City). But you can bring Y-PLAN to a classroom or community development project anywhere in the world!

Our Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Y-PLAN toolkit allows teachers, community members, or civic leaders bring a one-day modified Y-PLAN project to life. Y-PLAN Mini has the curriculum and activities you need to succeed, and can be implemented in 3-5 hours. It can also serve as a perfect introduction to Y-PLAN’s unique approach to project-based civic learning experiences.

Students gathered data and conducted research by creating mind-maps of their project site: the entrance of their campus. They created a questionnaire and surveyed different members within the school community. They also created a SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) of security scanners.

Module 3: Into Action

Objective: Participants will brainstorm solutions and develop proposals for change

Students completed their Y-PLAN Mini by writing a Client Letter to Principal Fowlkes and other administrators outlining their work and summarizing their recommendations.

The Y-PLAN Toolkit has been designed to equip educators, adult allies, and young people with the resources and "know-how" to develop and implement community development projects.
